Hey, good luck. Having been there and done that repeatedly, I offer this: Killing actors, while tempting, results only in badness. What I like to do instead is wait until the set strike and name certain pieces of the scenery-to-be-destroyed after the actors in question. One can then destroy the actor, by proxy, with complete impunity. I once did some serious damage to the scenery (such as it was) of a production of _Godspell_ by kicking it repeatedly in the name of a certain member of the pit band. :)

What a great way to vent your frustrations. :) I've never done that -- I did take great glee in demolishing a certain staircase/ladder, but that was all the staircase's fault.

And break a leg, Tablesaw! Or... I dunno, what do you say to a stage manager -- break a headset?

Break an actor! It's no less lucky than telling someone to break their own leg. And, you get to vent while sounding cheerful to the cast.

[tablesaw]

Hm. You, I don't recognize. Care to reveal yourself?

Sorry, Fortuna here. I'm at a computer training program for Access (read: web surfing) today. Trying to keep my mind busy so I don't dwell on other things going on.

Oh, you crazy kids and your shifting IP addresses!

Oh, if you're going to be breaking and smashing stuff, can I help? I have frustrations I need to vent too. I still haven't had decent sex, I mean food, in months.

Do you hate actors, too? Most stage managers do. My boyfriend does. In fact, he hates them so much that he took a pay cut to go from stage manager to a member of the light crew. hahaha

Well, I'm an assistant stage manager and I don't hate actors. Not most actors, anyways. (The company I'm an ASM for is not professional, but an MIT/community group, which may be what makes the difference.) The ones who get under my skin, though...really really really irritate me.
